Hello Beth
Can I suggest you recheck on your identifying family research.
Your Johan Mackay is likely to be John and that his son, also a John married Merrson/ Merrun (the spelling needs further confirmation).
I think you will find John who married Merrson/ Merrun is a brother to Christina.

I will double check.  Thanks.  Sometimes these Morrisons & MacKays (of which there were many with the same name) get quite confusing!

Yes, it is John married to Merron (fingers don't follow brain sometimes)
